 Hi,

 I've installed Imagemagick on my Mac OSX Leopard system using macports. It
 was working great. I now wish to fully utilize ImageMagick, but i find out
 that i cannot process and read pdf and ai files properly. Some more
 research has taught me that it is because ImageMagick has not been
 properly configured with Ghostscript.

 So i installed ghostscript using macports.

 Now i wish to reconfigure my installed version of Imagemagick to also
 include the installed version of ghostscript.

 Can someone advise me how i would go about this?
 Do i need to uninstall and reinstall everything? Or is there a way to
 point ImageMagick to the path of Ghostscript without uninstalling
 everything??

 CAN GHOSTSCRIPT PLEASE BE ADDED TO THE MACPORTS INSTALL OF ImageMagick so
 it is already automatically configured properly??

 In the mean time, can someone guide me how to link the installed port
 Ghostscript to ImageMagick??

 I would really appreciate some help, because i cannot find any
 documentation on the internet, and i've been searching continuously for
 the past 5 days.
